Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar strongly condemned two “vile antisemitic attacks” in Melbourne on Friday—an arson attack on the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation synagogue and “targeted violence” at an Israeli restaurant named Miznon.

“Israel stands firmly with the Jewish community in Australia,” Sa’ar posted on X. “There have been too many antisemitic attacks in Australia. The Australian government must do more to fight this poisonous disease.”
